A Man Wakes Up

A Man Wakes Up

When he opens his eyes

He doesn't recognize a thing

A Man Wakes Up

Colors hurt his eyes

Voices that surround him like knives

Too hard too close

Too shiny gets up in his face

He gets up and he walks around

His limbs make an unfamiliar rhythm

He turns into words

The words into architecture

Buildings that grin at him like giant clowns

He opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out

Only colors that fall to the ground

Broken bottles that crack beneath his feet

Snap like frozen chocolate

Tastes as sweet through soles of shoes

A Man Wakes Up

A Man Wakes Up

He turns into a beach

Thin and white and gold

The waves he rode in

Drive him back into the dunes

Whose heads adorned with grasses sway

In a gentle salty breeze all day

A Man Wakes Up

Feels himself through turned inside out

A Man Wakes Up

Every waking turns he hers

A Man Wakes Up

The colors in the sound to relate this

A Man Wakes Up

The waves turn into field into crash

Too hard too close too shining

Hard and soft

Soft is hard

Sweet the sound

Sound the hot beach wine

Jog alone in a cracked window

Prepare turned into peace

Overhead power lines
